The clips were working prior to the October update yes (noticed it simply because it happened to be the series I was currently watching)
I’ll PM you a link, and see what happens from it.
I just dislike having to do workarounds like setting the SW Decoding, since I’m sure I won’t remember it if I reinstall/get but by it for other files in the future (i.e. having some files that are HD res that all of a sudden start stuttering).
